The Prophets The Stranger The Lamb |
Why do we do this mission work? We believe that because man is and does evil and because God is perfectly Holy, perfectly righteous, and perfectly just,
every person stands condemned before God. But God has provided only one
way (a very good way!) for us to escape His anger against sin. Every person needs to know that way of escape! What they do with the message we bring is THEIR business. Bringing the message of salvation through Jesus Christ to them, clearly, so that they can make that choice, is OUR business. We believe that the "Good
News" message needs to be clearly presented to all men everywhere. In my home country there are Churches in every city, and Bibles in nearly every store, bookstore, library, and public building. In addition, there are preachers who broadcast over radios and television daily. Nearly every courthouse
and old government building has Bible verses displayed or built in. Bible proverbs are in secular literature everywhere. The founding documents of our nation and of many of the states make clear reference to our responsibilities before God. Our laws, our culture, our
judgments, and our speech are permeated with influence from a Biblical heritage. (Though greatly in decline!) We have had our chance (and still have it). The peoples of the remote areas of the world have not had the chance to hear the message of salvation through Christ even one time! It is very evident in their lives. What we would call common sense is not common to the rest of the world. The
"Good News" message changes that! It gives life to the dying, health to the sick, sight to the blind, and wisdom to the foolish. Frequently these are physical benefits as well as spiritual! Most of all these people are bound for an eternity separated from God.
Forever separated from all that is Good! God has provided a way of escape at great expense to Himself! We must warn them and show them God's way of escape! Next |
